Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/3230

I already use NginxProxyManager for 4 webpages without any problems. Now I would like to run our time tracking via the proxy. I can do whatever I want, I can't manage it. The frontend is made available via port 80. But according to the manufacturer, the frontend cannot be opened via the port. Only a provided path works. Now I have the problem that Nginx necessarily expects a port. Has anyone ever had a problem like this? And if so, is there a solution for this?

Many thanks in advance for our help

@UndyingSoul commented on GitHub (Oct 3, 2023):

The PiHole project has a similar issue to yours, in which the admin panel isn't located at the root page (ex. http://127.0.0.1/) instead, you have to specify the page you want to load at the root / location (ex. http://127.0.0.1/admin/).

By default, when you load http://127.0.0.1, your browser assumes you're trying to load port 80, but it's a good idea to specify it anyway. Not the problem here.

Try creating a proxy by specifying the forward hostname like your.service.host.ip:80 then under the custom locations, define the location / to forward to your.service.host.ip:80/path/you/want/to/use

Relevant issue: https://github.com/NginxProxyManager/nginx-proxy-manager/issues/1027

P.S. The GitHub issues is not the most appropriate place for support. I recommend heading over to reddit and get help from there.

Not a bug, recommending the issue to be closed.
